I suspect this is because your locale sets Emacs up to use Latin-9
encoding, while Ispell's dictionary is encoded in Latin-1. Current
released versions of Emacs see Latin-1 and Latin-9 as different
characters, sigh...
The solution is to find and install an Italian dictionary that is
encoded in Latin-9. Alas, I don't know if and where such a beast
exists.
